Can't stand modern FPS game but love FPS?

Unreal Tournament has a new version in development which is free to play, you can download the alpha of that now and give feedback.

BF2 is still running but gamespy shut the master server support down, the community has provided new master servers and tools for those who want to continue to play. If you're not a big fan of BF3/BF4/Hardline I actually highly recommend you try out Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the PC, this was a real Gem for its day and played a lot more like a natural evolution of the older battlefield games.

Someone already mentioned Heroes and Generals and this actually quite closely mirrors BF1942 from back in the day, it's free and quite good, not really P2W as you can get all the things you need at a reasonable pace.

I have Bad Company 2 for both my 360 and PC and it was when I started to really dislike modern fps games. BF 3 and BF 4 is more like Bad Company which isn't a good thing for me.

unreal tournament 4 is a blast. it reminds me of the glory days of FPS and i think they are honestly trying to revive the arena shooter genre and doing a good job so far with it. I love the fact i can jump into a DM, frag some people and quit. community seems very mature too.

Serious Sam is as modern/old school as it gets.

Its basically Doom, with larger stages and tons of bodies to frag.

I'm in the same boat, loved FPS games but not anymore, they've gotten so incredibly dumbed down. Planetside 2 is the last decent FPS game for me but at least Battlefield 4 is still very active although I have taken a break from it. I also still occasionally fire up Insurgency and Red Orchestra 2.

Got Payday 2 on Steam sale, not a bad game to pass time with.

Forgotten Hope mods for Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 are great -far better than the originals (especially the latter of course since WWII inherently works better than modern).

Teamwork even on public servers is high since the player base is dedicated. The 100 player servers tend to fill according to European time evenings and weekends.

I played the recent shadow warrior remake and it plays much like the old school FPS games. That's also why I couldn't finish it: ferociously boring. I did a few hours and had just had enough. Killing the same enemies over and over and over, no story or context worth mentioning, it's blah. I never could finish Quake, either. I tried several times and always just couldn't be bothered.
